Lockheed Martin signs manufacturing letter of intent with Polish defense firm

Lockheed Martin and Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ), Poland’s state-owned defense company, recently signed a far-reaching manufacturing letter of intent recently at the International Defence Industry Exhibition in Kiecle.
 
"Lockheed Martin has customers in more than 70 countries worldwide and is pursuing a strategy of international business growth which presents significant opportunities for PGZ," Lockheed Martin Vice President Europe and Latin America Jonathan Hoyle said. "We believe this agreement will lead to an even deeper partnership with Poland, supporting hundreds more jobs within PGZ member companies and boosting the contribution the defense industry makes to the national economy."
 
Signing on behalf of Lockheed Martin, Hoyle and PGZ’s signatory, company President Arkadiusz Siwko, paved the way for manufacturing agreements. Through the letter of intent, PGZ and its member companies are closer to being involved in manufacturing satellite systems, aircraft, helicopters, weapons and combat systems. It is an opportunity for the company to be part of innovative defense and security programs.
 
"This is a very significant step toward tightening the cooperation between Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa and Lockheed Martin which is a very important partner for us. We hope this cooperation will result in strengthening our long-term partnership and our involvement in many successful projects, to the benefit of both American and Polish industry," Siwko said.
